Our Story

THE HISTORY

The partners of The Resource Group have been in land development and home building for over 20 years. In 2015, they realized there was a significant gap in options for affordable homes for the discerning buyer, in communities that met high standards and lifestyle criteria. They went to work to conceptualize and develop a new kind of housing choice called Simple Life.

THE PROCESS

They started by developing home sites (lots) around 2,500 square feet (typical minimum lot size in traditional neighborhoods) with smaller homes, 399 – 550 square feet.

They sought facility-focused home builders to provide high-quality housing with a smaller footprint. They found that modern factory-built housing provided craftsman quality construction and beautiful finishes, adhered to national building codes, and avoided costly weather delays and damage, material waste, and contractor fees.

They designed and developed luxury shared amenities including classic and rustic swimming pools, mixed-use fitness spaces and yoga rooms, sports courts, walking trails, dog parks, green spaces, and water features to create the perfect balance of private and shared space.

In short, Simple Life found a way to utilize lower impact, less costly development to offer luxury lifestyle community living at a lower overall cost.

THE FUTURE

Simple Life embraces the benefits of small space living for permanent residence, second home, or vacation property. They are proud of what they are able to offer. Simple Life's connected cottage communities provide the freedom to live simply but with all the amenities of a quality lifestyle.

As more and more people discover Simple Life, its purpose grows beyond designing affordable lifestyle communities. They are providing neighborhoods that bring together like-minded people.

As Simple Life grows and opens more communities in Florida and Western North Carolina, they will continue to provide more opportunities to become a part of the Simple Lifestyle.
